ANSWER: We, the Don Bosco Team, are regularly meeting every friday night in past0r Manny’s house, meeting new people in permanent housing to start new bible studies and youth service.

ANSWER: I’m doing good but also challenging myself to grow more in God and in my character. I always challenging myself to get a new things from God. The youth ministry in Don Bosco is a big challenge for me because, most of them are looking for enjoyment, like praise and worship with complete instruments compare to the churches around us. Honestly, in the last two weeks, only few of them are coming regularly in the meeting, and some are not because of their own personal reason.
Me and my wife are doing good, she is still working in the KFC. And just in this last two weeks, we confirmed that she is two months pregnant. She is very happy and excited.

13 – How do you think the whole ministry is doing without me and Christine there…it’s it exciting or a bit flat, is it flowing easy or hard, are people attending things or not, does everything feel positive or negative, are there new people attending things…

ANSWER: I think the whole ministry is doing good, there are times where people are being active in the bible studies, many are attending, but there are also times where people are too busy doing staff. We made some small adjustment in the schedules of bible study in Don Bosco where we think is best for them. There are buildings that are growing, and some are flat.

14 – How is prayer, this must always be a strong focus…

ANSWER: I thank God for the privileges in prayer. I do not cease to pray each day for every areas of ministry both Baseco, fairview, specially in Don Bosco. Prayer helps me charge my spirit and tune my ears to the leading of the Spirit. Since last month, I have decided to wake up early to pray and worship God.
